Gold Bug Cipher 3‡0†2?3

The Golden Bug Cipher is a fictional cryptography system popularized by Edgar Allan Poe in his short story The Golden Beetle. He uses a substitution code mixing numbers and symbols to translate a coded message.

To encode a message with the Golden Bug Cipher, use a mono-alphabetic substitution where each letter of the alphabet is replaced by another character, often a number or symbol, according to the conversion table:

To decode a message encrypted with the Golden Scarab, use the same substitution scheme used for encryption, but in reverse. Replace each symbol or number with the original corresponding letter.

The ciphered message contains the characters † or ‡ (dagger and double dagger), the symbol ¶ (pilcrow) and the 8 digit appears often as it replaces the letter E.

The index of coincidence is similar to the language of the plain text.

Any reference to an insect/bug and especially a golden beetle is a clue.

Any mentions of Edgar Allan Poe's Extraordinary Stories, of his hero William Legrand or the treasure of Captain Kidd are also clues.

In the book the secret message is: 53‡‡†305))6*;4826)4‡.)4‡);80 6*;48†8¶60))85;1‡(;:‡*8†83(88) 5*†;46(;88*96*?;8)*‡(;485);5*† 2:*‡(;4956*2(5*-4)8¶8*;40692 85);)6†8)4‡‡;1(‡9;48081;8:8‡1 ;48†85;4)485†528806*81(‡9;48 ;(88;4(‡?34;48)4‡;161;:188;‡?;

Edgar Allan Poe suggests other alphabets with the same symbols, especially one in another book a few word on secret writing here (affiliate link)
